Water softener
Filling the salt reservoir
Only special, coarse-grained
reactivation salt* should be used in
this machine.
*Available from Miele. Please see
back page for more information.
Do not use other types of salt, e.g. table
salt, agricultural or gritting salt. These
could contain components which are
insoluble in water and could damage
the water softener. If in doubt, consult
Miele Technical Service.
^ Place the funnel provided in place.
The salt reservoir holds approximately
2.5 kg salt.
^ Carefully fill the reservoir with the
reactivation salt.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
reservoir with detergent will damage
the water softener.
Before filling the reservoir, make
sure that you are using reactivation
salt.
^ Remove the bottom basket from the
machine.
^ Unscrew the salt reservoir cap.
Before filling the salt reservoir for the
first time fill the reservoir with
approximately 2.5 liters of water, so
that the salt can dissolve properly.
Once the washer has been
operated, there will always be
enough water in the reservoir.
14
Some displaced water will run out - this
is normal.
^ Wipe any residual salt off the screw
threads of the reservoir.
^ Screw the cap on securely.
^ Immediately after this step, start the
"Rinse" program, to remove any
traces of salt from the inside of the
machine.
Note: There may be a delay of a few
minutes before the "Rinse" program
starts due to the reactivation of the
water softener.
Water softener
Salt indicator
When the salt reservoir is empty, the
"Recharge Softener" indicator b lights
to remind you to fill the reservoir.
Reactivation takes place automatically
as needed during a program. The

Neutralizing agent
Adding neutralizer
Neutralizer has an acidic pH, and
works by neutralizing any traces of
(alkaline) cleaner from the surface of
the glassware.
^ Open the door of the storage cabinet
that houses the neutralizer and
detergent dispensers.
When a mild alkaline detergent is
used for washing, select a
neutralizer that contains phosphoric
acid.
The neutralizer is automatically
dispensed during the second rinse
after the main wash cycle. To function
properly, the neutralizer container must
be filled and cleared of air (primed).
For specific instructions see
"Programming functions".
Note: the program "Inorganica"
dispenses neutralizer after the
pre-wash.

Loading the machine
Depending on the type of labware you
wish to clean, the washer can be used
with an upper basket, lower basket, or
injector wagon, as well as an
assortment of inserts and special
baskets to suit your needs.
Baskets and inserts should be
properly selected to match the
application desired.
After every program completion,
conduct the following visual
inspection:
– Inspect the labware for cleanliness.
– Has any hollowware been dislodged
from its proper position on the
nozzles?
,Any items that were dislodged
from the adapters during a program
cycle must be washed again.
Before every program start, conduct
the following visual inspection:
– Are the cavities and channels in any
hollow vessels cleaned through?
– Is the labware properly loaded and
secured in the machine?
– Are the nozzles and connections
firmly attached to the
baskets/inserts?
– Are the hollow vessels properly
loaded so that all cavities and
channels will be flushed clean?
– Are the spray arms clean, and can
they rotate freely?
– Is the filter combination free of
coarse debris (remove any coarse
material and clean the coarse, fine,
flat, and micro-fine filters as
needed)?
– Is the basket adapter properly
connected to the water supply for the
spray arms and nozzles?
– Are the chemical dispensers filled?

surfaces are exposed. This ensures
that the items will be properly
cleaned.
^ Empty all glassware before loading
into the machine. Comply with all
applicable infection-control
regulations.
– Do not nest any items inside other
items. Keep each item separate.
^ Remove all agar residue from petri
dishes.
– Hollow vessels must be arranged for
complete inside exposure to the
cleaning water.
^ Remove any blood clots and blood
residue.
– Hollow vessels should be inverted
and placed in suitable baskets and
inserts so that water will have
unrestricted access and exit.
– Deep-based items should be
arranged at an angle, so that water
can run off easily.
– Tall, narrow pieces should be placed
in the center of the basket for best
water coverage.
– Baskets and inserts with an adapter
must be properly connected.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items that are too tall or hang
through the baskets.

residues, especially hydrochloric
acid or chlorides, get inside the
machine.
Special preparations before
operating the machine
Items effected by heavy contamination
that resists removal, such as vacuum
grease, paper labels, etc., can affect
the cleaning and rinsing of the whole
load. Pre-treat these items before
loading.
Lab equipment that is contaminated by
microbiological material, pathogens,
propathogens, genetically altered
material, etc., may need to be sterilized
before being washed in the machine.
The user is responsible for this
decision.
– Do not load plastics unless they are
heat-resistant.

whole, half or quarter inserts, and place
them in an empty lower basket or upper
basket with spray arm.
Narrow-necked items, e.g., narrow
necked Erlenmeyer flasks, round flasks,
volumetric flasks and pipettes, require
the use of injector wagons or injector
baskets.
This section only covers basic
information on how to prepare and load

of the machine.
Plumbing
Connecting the water inlet
,Water in the machine is not
suitable for drinking.
– The machine must be connected to
the water supply in accordance with
local and national regulations.
– High iron content can leave a rust
film on stainless steel labware and
the machine itself.
When the chloride content in the
domestic water supply is above
100mg/l, the risk of corrosion
damage to stainless steel labware is
greatly increased.
– In certain regions (e.g., mountainous
areas) the water composition may
cause condensate to form, requiring
the use of softened water in the
steam condenser.
– An acceptable water pressure (flow
rate) is 10 - 147 psi. However, the
recommended pressure is
25 - 60 psi.
If the water pressure is below 30 psi,
the fill time will take longer.
If the "Fill/Drain" indicator fault code
"F..E" lights, contact the Miele
Technical Service Department.
– The maximum permissible static
water pressure is 145 psi over
pressure.
– If the water pressure lies outside
these ranges, please contact Miele
Technical Service for advice (the
"Fill/Drain" indicator, may appear in
the display "F E").
– The machine is designed for
connection to cold water (blue
marking) and hot water (red marking)
up to 158°F (70°C) max.
Connect the water intake hoses to
the cold and hot water faucets.
– If there is no hot water supply, the
intake hose with the red marking
must also be connected to the cold
water supply.
– Connect the intake hose for the
steam condenser (without water
safeguard) to the cold water faucet.
– See the next page for how to
connect the DI water line.
– Water valves with 3/4 inch thread are
to be provided on site. They should
be easily accessible, because the
water supply will need to be turned
off when not in use.
– The inlet hoses are approx. 5 ½ ft
(1.7 m) long pressure hoses with
3
/4 inch thread. Do not remove the
water inlet filters in the threads.
69
Plumbing
– Install the large surface area filters
(in the kit supplied with the machine)
between the water valve and the
water inlet hose (see illustration in
"Cleaning the water inlet filters"). The
large surface area filter for distilled
water is made of stainless steel and
can be recognized by the matte
surface.
DI Connection (pressurized)
The machine comes factory standard
for connection to a pressure resistant
system. The recommended water
pressure (flow rate) is 25 - 60 psi
however, water pressure that is
10 - 147 psi is acceptable.
^ The DI pressure tested hose (marked
"H2O pure" with a 3/4" hose thread
must be connected to the on-site
water valve for DI purified water.
If the DI water connection is not
used, the electronic needs to be
reprogrammed by Miele Technical
Service. The water intake hose
remains at the rear side of the
machine.
Do not cut or damage the inlet hose
in any way.
Please also refer to the installation
diagram.

^ The drainage system is fitted with a
non-return valve which prevents dirty
water from flowing back into the
machine via the drain hose.
^ The machine should preferably be
connected to a separate drainage
system onsite.
If separate drainage is not available
contact Miele Technical Service for
advice.
The onsite drain connection point
should be located between 1 ft.
(0.3 m) and 3 ft. (1 m) above the
lower edge of the machine.
If it is lower than 1 ft. (0.3 m), lay the
hose in a curve at a height of at least
1 ft. (0.3 m).
The drainage system must be able to
take a minimum drainage flow of
16 l/min.
^ The drain hose is approx. 5 ft.
(1.5 m), is flexible and has an internal
diameter of 7/8 in. (22 mm). It must
not be shortened. Hose clamps are
supplied for securing it in position.
^ A longer drain hose (up to 13 ft.
[4 m]) is available to order from
Miele.
